Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. View More (2007-04-25)


ALBA Synchrotron used for first time as a microscope to determine protein structure
A team led by David Reverter, a researcher at the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (IBB) of the UAB, has determined for the first time the three-dimensional structure of a protein pair: LC8 and Nek9. Depending on whether or not they bind, Nek9 ensures that the chromosomes group and separate correctly during cell division.  View More (2013-04-11)



Most comprehensive collection of fungal cell biology movies ever published
A recent special edition of the journal Fungal Biology Reviews, published by Elsevier, on behalf of the British Mycological Society, features a total of 76 videos which together comprise the most comprehensive collection of fungal cell biology movies ever published. View More (2011-03-17)


Researchers define role of CEP290 in maintaining ciliary function
A new study in the September 6 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology helps define the role of an important ciliary protein, CEP290. View More (2010-09-07)


ETH Zurich: Fast and Cheap Detection of Bacteria
Carbohydrates displayed on the surface of cells play critical roles in cell-cell recognition, adhesion, signaling between cells, and as markers for disease progression. Neural cells for instance use carbohydrates to facilitate development and regeneration and viruses recognize carbohydrates to gain entry into host cells. Identification of the specific saccharides involved in these processes is... View More (2004-12-17)


SLU scientists have identified the first gene regulating programmed cell death in plant embryos
A research team at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, has succeeded in isolating a novel gene that regulates cell death in plant embryos. This is a world first. The team consists of scientists from the Department of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics, headed by Peter Bozhkov and Sara von Arnold. The team has discovered programmed cell death in plant embryos and has recently... View More (2004-06-01)


New insight into Alzheimer's disease pathology
An Alzheimer's-related protein helps form and maintain nerve cell connections, according to a study published in the May 4 print issue of the Journal of Cell Biology and online at www.jcb.org. View More (2009-05-04)


Scientists isolate protein that may be 'boon' to medicine
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have isolated a unique protein that appears to have a dual function and could lead to a "boon in medicine." View More (2009-08-05)


Rewind, please: Nature paper shows that cell division is reversible
Gary J. Gorbsky, Ph.D., a scientist with the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, has found a way to reverse the process of cell division. View More (2006-04-13)

Divide and conquer: Genes decide who wins in the body's battle against cancer
Researchers funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) have discovered for the first time that two proteins called Mahjong and Lgl could be star players in helping to identify how the body's own cells fight back against cancer cells. View More (2010-07-14)


UT Southwestern research reveals that significantly more genetic mutations lead to colon cancer
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center say there are at least 70 genetic mutations involved in the formation of colon cancer, far more than scientists previously thought.  View More (2011-07-18)


U Alberta-led team studies T cell activation with nanoparticles
A University of Alberta-led research team has taken a major step forward in understanding how T cells are activated in the course of an immune response by combining nanotechnology and cell biology. T cells are the all important trigger that starts the human body's response to infection.  View More (2010-04-29)


Fernström Prizes To Swedish Researchers In Medicine
On November 3 the Erik K. Fernström Foundation will confer prizes on seven researchers in medical science. The Fernström Foundation is one of the largest foundations of its kind in Sweden. The Nordic Prize, worth the sum of SEK 1 million, is awarded this year to Professor Lennart Philipson. He has done important work in cell and molecular biology research, both in Sweden and abroad, and... View More (2003-10-31)


A clearer view on biology

Government funding for synthetic biology on the rise
A new analysis by the Synthetic Biology Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center found that the U.S. government has spent around $430 million on research related to synthetic biology since 2005, with the Department of Energy funding a majority of the research. View More (2010-06-09)


Small RNAs can play critical roles in male infertility/contraception
University of Nevada School of Medicine scientists in the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology have discovered insight into the reproductive workings of the male sex chromosome that may have significant implications for male infertility and contraception. View More (2009-04-10)


Yale researchers make cell biology quantitative
Yale researchers have reported a method to count the absolute number of individual protein molecules inside a living cell, and to measure accurately where they are located, two basic hurdles for studying biology quantitatively. View More (2005-10-20)
